TRUST WILL RAISE OIL
PRICES TO PAY BIG FINE
Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. S.—C. D. Cham
berlaln, secretary of the Independent
Oil Producers' organization of the Na
tional Petroleum Association, today
said that the Standard has already laid
plans to pay the $23,240,000 fine Im
posed by Federal Judge Landis Satur
day. Ho said: "Whllo I can't speak
officially for the convicted corporation,
the public should remember the course
pursued by the Standard when pur
chasing the Manhattan Oil Company,
the Standard's biggest competitor
there. Tho price paid was about $6,-
000,000 and In six months the amount
was raised by Increasing the price of
oil. I am told, a similar course will be
pursued by the trust now."
New York, Aug. 8.—John D. Arch
bold, vice president of the Standard Oil
Company, In a statement Issued this
afternoon. Intimated that the report of
Commissioner of. Corporations Smith
on the company, was Incorrect.
In another statement Issued by
Charles Pratt, secretary of the com
pany, the report that the price of oil la
about to be advanced by the Standard
Is denied.
Mr. Archbold's signed statement fol
lows:
"This remarkable report of Mr.
Smith's marks another coincidence In
the utterances of the different depart
ments of.the government In their dif
ferent attacks upon us that have oc
curred so frequently as to rob them
even of the appearance of being acci
dental.
“It Is sufficient now for ut to say that
In the preparation of his report Mr.
Smith did not see fit to even confer
with us. We think the public will agree
that we were at least entitled to be
heard In such a matter. . If Mr. Smith
had seen fit to confer with us, we would
really have furnished him with the data
for a truthful statement of the facts on
this question."

The appeal for the old "Texas," vet
eran engine of the great war. Is being
heard over Georgia, and many persons
are awakening to the knowledge that
one of the priceless relics of the con
flict between the states was about to be
sent to the Junk pile and converted Into
scrap Iron.
There ore many Georgians who re
member the old locomotive and since
the publication of the story of the
"Texas" and Its Impending fate, hun
dreds havo visited the yards where the
engine awaits Anal orders before being
converted into scrap. The "Texas" has
been the center of an admiring crowd
for several days, and on Sunday the
yards were overflowed by the curious.
That the Interest Is growing Is shown
by several contributions received by
Tho Georgian Mondny, to be devoted to
saving tho "Texas" from destruction.
One of those came from a little boy of
7, Cecil Hussey, who Hit, Just returner,
from a visit to Chattanooga, and who
saw the "General" In Its place of honor
there.

Ann” (Georgian), and for the flrst
time In my life 1 learned that It was
the "Texas."
In the years 1886-87-68-89 I hauled
cord wood to the line of the Western
and Atlantic railroad at Moores Cross
ing, about mid-way between Acworth
and Altoona. I was 10 years of age
when I flrst began to haul wood to the
railroad, which was about a mile dis
tant from where the land was being
cleared by my father and the wood
choppers. They would load the wood
on the wagon drawn by a team of oxen,
which 1 drove to the railroad, and by
lifting one end of a stick of cord wood
I was able to roll It off the wagon. In
this way I hauled eight or ten loads a
day, and during the four years that I
was there I hauled about 2,000 or 2,600
cords. My father would go at least
once a day to the railroad and cord
the wood which 1 had hauled.
I neve.* saw a locomotive or any cars
until I was 10 years of age, having
lived In the n vuntufna of Tennessee
and thirty miles from the railroad until
that time. So when I began hauling
wood to the railroad I soon learned that
engines had both names and numbers,
as they did at that time. ,
Knew All the Engines.
Every day or so while at the railroad
unloading the wood I would see a dif
ferent engine from what I had seen be
fore, and the numbers and nnmea of
those engines are as Indelibly Impress
ed on my memory as the multiplication
table. For example, there was Gaxelle
38, Oovemor 36, President 37. General
39, Joe Brown 40, Senator 41, Chieftain
42. J. W. I-ewls 43, Nickajack 44, En-

It may be stated authoritatively that
unless Important measures now pend
ing, conforming to the demands of the
Macon platform and the recommenda
tions of Governor Smith, are passed at
the regular session there will be an ex
tra session of the general assembly.
Only twelve more working days re
main of the session, and the only Im
portant measure to pass both branches
Is the prohibition measure, which will
be signed by the governor Tuesday
morning at 10:30 o’clock.
It Is the purpose of the governor to
compel action on the' Important bills.
They must be passed or defeated, and
not left without definite action of some
kind.
Under article V, paragraph 12 of sec
tion 1 of the constitution of the state
the governor Is given full authority for
convoking an extra session:
"He shall have power to convoke the
general assembly on extraordinary oc
casions, but no law shall be enacted at
call sessions of the general assembly
except such as shall relate to the ob
ject stated In his proclamation con
vening them."
Those close to Governor Smith say
that he Is fixed nnd definite In his pur
pose to convoke the general assembly
in extraordinary session unless pend
ing bills are passed or rejected.
The senate has dono more toward
acting on Important bills than the
house. The upper branch has passed
the disfranchisement measure, the
Candler railroad bill, tho antl-pnss bill,
and several other measures of lesser
Importance.
The senate calendar Is practically
cleared, and the time Is largely taken
up with house matters now. The houso
begins this week to hold dally after
noon sessions.
General Tax Qusztlon.
All through the session Monday
morning the bouse of representatives
wrestled with the general tax act and
when the hour of adjournment arrived
at 1 o’clock the roll call on tho flrst
amendment had not been completed
and the time was extended IE minutes
In order to allow It to be finished.
The house met at 10 o'clock Monday
morning and was led In prayer by Rev.
M. J. Cofer.
Following the call of the roll, Mr.
Burwell, of Hancock, Introduced a res
olution that during the remainder of
the session the house hold two sessions
each day, one in the morning from 9
o'clock until 1 o'clock and In the after- 9
noon from 3 o'clock until 6 o’clock.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, was In favor of re.
rring the resolution to the committee
on rules.
"I never saw the time In my life,"
said Mr. Hall, “that you could get a
quorum In this house at an afternoon
session, and we can not put a gr/ieral
bill on Its passage at that time.
Mr. Candler, or DeKalb, was opposed
to referring the resolution to the com
mittee on rules and urged Its adoption
by the house.
The motion of Mr. Hall, that the
resolution be referred to the rules com
mittee, was lost by a vote of 84 to 44.
Mr. Blackburn offered to amend the
resolution by fixing the afternoon ses-
